Personalized Jacksonville Veterinary Service from Animal Hospital of Onslow County

Jacksonville veterinarians, Dr. David H Altman, Dr. Craig Corry and Dr. Clayton McQuiddy, as well as our staff, are dedicated to providing compassionate care to each and every patient of our clinic. Remember the days when the local veterinarian made his or her way to homes and farms in order to treat the needs of pets? No matter what time of day or night, animal owners knew they could count on superior service in taking care of their loved pets. While that time may have come and gone, at Animal Hospital of Onslow County, our goal is to treat each of our clients with that same type of personalized service.

Whether our animal patients are in need of Jacksonville emergency vet care or routine care from a Jacksonville veterinarian, we know that pet owners have several Jacksonville animal clinics to choose from. We consider it a privilege and an honor to help each of your animal family members and strive to make the process as stress free as possible. In fact, we make it a point to thank every owner for utilizing our services. Although we do offer routine and urgent care, we also provide emergency vet services during our regular business hours.

It is our goal to service the Jacksonville area, including Midway Park, Hubert, and Maysville, with the best veterinary care possible. At Animal Hospital of Onslow County, we also proudly serve the military families and their pets of Camp Lejeune. Dr. Dave Altman and Dr. Craig Corry are both former military themselves, having proudly served in the Army. Dr. Dave Altman was also a Navy Jet Pilot and was raised in a Navy family with a father that was a Carrier Aviator. Dr. Corry, Dr. Altman and our animal hospital staff understand military life and work to provide customized veterinary service for all the pets of Camp Lejeune, Midway Park, Hubert, and Maysville.

Dr. Clayton McQuiddy is a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. His interests include small animal preventative medicine, nutrition, surgery, neurology, and exotic species medicine. He is originally from Nashville, TN and enjoys fishing with his wife and hanging out with their cat, Archer and dog, Agnes. He is excited to be a part of the AHOC team and is looking forward to helping you with any problems that your animals may have.

We are located at 296 Doctors Drive, near Western Boulevard. Please give us a call at (910) 353-1722 to schedule an appointment today.
